All the Lights in the Forest Breathe Slowly

On Ainomori's website and in our games, everything that glows brightens slowly and fades slowly — no flashing, no sudden jumps. It's a little promise we keep in everything we make.

All the Lights in the Forest Breathe Slowly

If you look closely, you’ll notice that everything that glows in Ainomori has one thing in common:

It all breathes slowly.

The heart crystal on the home page, the light flowing through the roots in Titan’s Roots, the high-tier crystals in Crystal Merge, Titan’s Whispers… they all brighten slowly, then slowly fade again.

Crystal Merge: the crystals' light rises and falls slowly.
Crystal Merge: the crystals' light rises and falls slowly.

Why?

Fast-flashing light makes many people uncomfortable, and for people who are especially sensitive to light, rapidly flashing images can even trigger seizures.

We want everyone to feel safe spending time in the forest.

Our little promise

Whenever we make anything for Ainomori, we keep to a few rules:

  • No flashing: light rises and falls slowly — a single breath takes several seconds.
  • Soft in, soft out: nothing suddenly snaps fully on or fully off.
  • Glowing together: when many lights need to come on, they glow up softly together, instead of flickering one after another.
  • If your device has “reduce motion” turned on, the website’s animations become fewer and calmer too.
Titan's Whispers: the Titan's light breathes slowly, too.
Titan's Whispers: the Titan's light breathes slowly, too.

We keep these promises in the VRChat worlds and games we make, too.

If anything anywhere in Ainomori ever makes you feel unwell, please tell us on Discord.


Take your time. The forest’s light will always be here.
